The student is now told that the four solids, in no particular order, are aluminum chloride (AlCl3), sugar (C6H12O6), benzoic ac

id (C6H5COOH), and sodium bromide (NaBr). Assuming that conductivity is correlated to the number of ions in solution, rank the four substances based on how well a 0.20 M solution in water will conduct electricity. Rank from most conductive to least conductive. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them. View Available Hint(s)

Answer:

AlCl₃, NaBr, C₆H₅COOH, C₆H₁₂O₆.

Explanation:

The more ions in solution, the greater the conductivity of a solution because these charged particles can carry electrons in the solution.

In the first place, when AlCl₃ dissolves in water it produces 4 ions:

AlCl₃(aq) ⇄ Al³⁺(aq) + 3 Cl⁻(aq)

If the solution is 0.20M in AlCl₃, it will be 4 x 0.20M = 0.80M in ions.

Secondly, NaBr is a strong electrolyte (<em>complete ionization</em>) so it produces 2 moles of ions per each mole of NaBr dissolved:

NaBr(aq) ⇄ Na⁺(aq) + Br⁻(aq)

If the solution is 0.20M in NaBr, it will be 2 x 0.20M = 0.40M in ions.

Then, benzoic acid is a weak electrolyte (<em>partial ionization</em>) so it will produce <em>less than</em> 2 moles of ions per each mole of benzoic acid dissolved:

C₆H₅COOH(aq) ⇄ C₆H₅COO⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq)

If the solution is 0.20M in benzoic acid, the solution will be far below 0.40M in ions.

Finally, sugar has only nonpolar covalent bonds so it will produce no ions in solution, thus being a poor electricity conductor.

What are the products in this chemical reaction? 2H3PO4+3Ca(OH)2→Ca3(PO4)2+6H2O
finlep [7]
<h2>Answer:C</h2>

Explanation:

A chemical equation is a equation that describes a corresponding chemical reaction.

A chemical reaction is generally written as

reactants→products

reactants refer to all the reactants involved in the chemical reaction.

Reactants are usually written on the left hand side of the chemical equation.

products refer to all the products formed in the chemical reaction.

products are usually written on the right hand side of the chemical equation.

In the given reaction,Ca_{3}(PO_{4})_{2},H_{2}O are written on the right side of the equation.

So,Ca_{3}(PO_{4})_{2},H_{2}O are the products.

4.3 moles of a gas are at a temperature of 28 degrees * C with a pressure of 1.631 atm. What volume does the gas occupy?
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

65.2L

Explanation:

Using the general gas equation;

PV = nRT

Where;

P = pressure (atm)

V = volume (Litres)

n = number of moles (mol)

R = gas law constant (0.0821 Latm/molK)

T = temperature (Kelvin)

According to the information provided in this question,

P = 1.631 atm

V = ?

n = 4.3 moles

T = 28°C = 28 + 273 = 301K

Using PV = nRT

V = nRT/P

V = 4.3 × 0.0821 × 301 ÷ 1.631

V = 106.26 ÷ 1.631

V = 65.15

Volume of the gas = 65.2L

Given the balanced equation:
Aliun [14]

Answer:

0.4

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of SrCl₂ consumed = ?

Mass of ZnCl₂ produced = 54 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

ZnSO₄ + SrCl₂    →    SrSO₄ +  ZnCl₂

Number of moles of ZnCl₂:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 54 g/136.3 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.4 mol

Now we will compare the moles of  ZnCl₂ with SrCl₂  from balance chemical equation.

                          ZnCl₂              :             SrCl₂

                              1                  :                1

                           0.4                 :              0.4

Thus when 54 g of  ZnCl₂ produced 0.4 moles of SrCl₂ react.
